How To Get Free High PR Backlinks

Backlinks are still among the backbones of search engine ranking despite the many changes in Google algorithms and ranking parameters. No matter how much Google and other major search engines emphasize the importance of having good quality contents that provide genuine value to the readers, but without backlinks websites can hardly get to the front of page of Google. If ever some of them made it to the top pages, the high ranking position of the site is short-lived.

Backlinks are like the foundation of the building. It supports the building to make it last long and withstand the raging storms and bad weathers. But if the foundation is weak, the building may still stand but only for awhile. When rain comes, it will easily stumble and fall.

Just like websites and backlinks, some sites may be able to make it to the front page of Google at first, although the chances are small, but if its ranking is not supported by good quality backlinks coming from high PR sites, then it will gradually lose its position after a few days.

That is why whenever you attained a certain page rank you must immediately reinforce it with backlinks to maintain its position. This will also make it hard for your competitors to unseat your site from its present position in major search engines particularly Google.

Things You Should Know About Backlinking

When building backlinks to your site, it is important know some of the basics of backlink building. One of them is to know the main differences between ‘do follow’ sites and ‘no follow’ sites.

Main Difference between Do Follow and No Follow Links

As the term implies, ‘do follow’ sites are those that search engines will follow. If you create a backlink from a high PR ‘do follow’ website, the ‘do follow’ link tells Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other search engines to pass on its high page rank influence to the outbound link; that link will be counted by the search engines when calculating the page rank of the site.

In ‘no follow’ link, on the other hand, when search engines crawl on the site and see the ‘no follow’ instruction in the hyperlink, that link will not be counted when assessing the site’s page rank. Therefore, make sure to build backlinks only from ‘do follow’ sites, or your backlinking efforts will only put to waste if you create outbound links to your site from ‘no follow’ sources.

Effective Backlinking Strategies

acklinking Strategy via Forums

One of the many ways of creating good quality backlinks is forum posting. This is quite simple to do. Unlike some methods that require you to create long articles, in this case you are spared from doing the quite tedious and time-consuming task of article writing.

All you have to do is simply ask questions in short paragraph or few sentences with a link to your site in your forum signature. You can either create a new thread with your question, or answer questions of other forum members. The more you participate in different threads, the more links you will create. You can start doing this at high PR forum sites listed here.
